They are clearly NOT a news organization. They are a right-wing propaganda media organization which distributes misinformation for the Republican Party in order to sway the voting public. In no respect are they a journalistic endeavor and should not be allowed to identify themselves as such.

In the media today, it doesn’t matter if it is factual or not, it just matters if you get it out there and YELL IT ENOUGH AND SPAM THE NEWS WITH IT SO THAT IF YOU SAY IT LOUD ENOUGH AND LONG ENOUGH IT MUST BE TRUE.

There is a difference between TWO lawmakers doing something and the implied plurality “lawmakers” doing something. To omit words like “handful of” is to intentionally change the meaning of the article from a recitation of facts to propaganda.

There a clearly some anti-gay groups on the list. To air-quote or scare-quote the term is both propaganda (there go that word again) and, one presumes, insult to those groups’ effectiveness. I would think NOM would be PROUD to be known as an anti-gay group – no quotes.
